We just returned from a 4 day visit in San Francisco, for our anniversary and enjoyed our stay at Hotel Drisco immensely!! It's a small but charming hotel in posh Pacific Heights, that's elegant, quiet, comfortable and reasonable. We chose HD based on TripAdvisor & Frommer guide reviews, booked directly with the hotel, got 4-star amenities: robes, slippers, LAVISH products, friendly, professional staff & conciege, daily paper, turndown service, daily breakfast & evening wine reception. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but they have limited room service(delicious paninni sandwiches) and an Order In service with decent selection, prices for the one night we stayed in. Local dining, shopping and buses are just walking distance away. And if we needed take a cab, a quick call to front desk and we had one within 5-10min! The hotel has a town car service, which provides transportation to & from the airport (fee added) AND complimentary daily service to downtown from 7:30-9:30am, M-F. Otherwise, parking is hard to find. (Not a problem, as we did not drive!) Beds are very comfy, decor is elegant, understated vintage. We had corner room, 406B, deluxe king and slept well every night, it was so quiet! The hotel provides several handy guides for walking tours, shopping, dining tips, which we used and staff's recommendations for local eateres: Ella's, Crepevine, Osteria Forno were excellent. We will definitely stay at Hotel Drisco again and highly recommend it for anyone seeking a tasteful, friendly, reasonable change of pace from typical chain hotels in San Francisco!
